Sean Scully

By (author) Tiffany Bell






| book description |

This is a superbly illustrated look at the recent works of critically acclaimed abstract artist Sean Scully. Throughout his critically acclaimed 30-year career, Irish-American artist Sean Scully has invigorated abstract painting with an enduring investigation of its ability to convey universal truths about the human condition. Both recalling and demystifying Modernist traditions, Scully employs a deceptively reductive vocabulary - horizontal and vertical bands of colour and the interplay of light and shadow draw in and envelop the viewer. In the contrasts between colours whose boundaries meet with precision and restraint, Scully communicates a duality of harmony and fracture, mirroring the vulnerability of human relationships. This superbly illustrated volume brings together a collection of 22 of Scully's recent oil paintings - including works from the Wall of Light and Robe series - alongside a number of watercolours and drawings, subtle compositions that both complement and underscore the larger works.
